Cool And Dreary Winter Morning

It has been a cool and dreary morning here at the house (Wednesday, 11 January, 2012). No winds and dirty air, after a morning low of 28F. Heavy cirrus and middle cloud, with some virga, are spilling over the top of a weak ridge over southern California. See current visible satellite image below.


Views below are from Kitt Peak (looking south) and from campus (looking north). No precipitation since December 19th, but lots of cold mornings - 13 of them down in the 20s. Not at all clear if the 500 mb cutoff low west of California will give us a chance of rain in a few days.
